by 0.17 percent. However, Bharat Earth Movers was trading with a modest

gain of 0.63 percent.

Market expert SP Tulsian pointed out that the Budget did not make any announcement about specific order inflows.

"In the last 3-4 Rail Budgets the references of anti-collision devices (ACD) were specifically made in the Railway Budget but nothing has come."

An increase in passenger fares across all classes, more than 100 new trains, enhanced frequency or routes for many others, and plans to hire more than one lakh employees were some of the key Rail Budget proposals.

Expers, however, feel the Rail Budget is a dull one and Trivedi's proposals are unlikely to be implemented.

Sachin Bhanushali, president and chief executive officer, Gateway Rail Freight said that a huge amount of implementation effort will be required. He said the target set for improving operating ratio from 95 percent level to 74 percent level by the end of the 12th Five Year Plan is going to be very difficult to achieve.
